Hungry Heroes @ Tessensohn Road

An interesting concept has set foot at Tessensohn Road near little india area with the descent of the super heroes. Under the same roof of the 2 storey shophouse housed Hungry Heroes, a restaurant and deli on the ground floor while Art Art And Away, a lifestyle space that retails unique decorative art and home furnishing products occupied the 2nd floor.

Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar 4/5

Beer fanatic will be rejoiced with the specially curated selection of beers at Hungry Heroes. To mention a few, I had the Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar ($14) that has a rich nutty flavour that goes very well with grilled chicken. The gold medal winner at the world beer championship 1995, Rogue Mocha Porter is an excellent pairing with the signature pork ribs. Available on tap is the Deschutes River Ale which is an easy to drink pale ale that pairs well with a wide range of meats.

Steak Out 3.5/5

The food at Hungry Heroes is all about hearty and robust meats. We tried the Hungry Heroes Platter which comes in 3 sizes. We had the Steak Out ($108) which is good for 5 to 6 people. The platter consists of 200g ribeye, full rack of pork ribs, pulled pork, sausage trio, 250g deboned chicken leg, beef stew and veal osso bucco. This is perfect for group gathering as everyone gets a share of the different meats that is on the menu.

Steak Out 3.5/5

Among all the different meats that is on the platter, my favourite has to the pork ribs. The twice cooked pork ribs were so tender and juicy, felling off the bone with ease and literally melted in the mouth. The rest was decent but not memorable.

Brownie with Ice Cream 3/5

Wrapping out the dinner, we had the classic Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream. Nothing fancy but a nice closure to a super heroes reception.

I have to admit my photos did not mange to justify how beautiful the restaurant is. You just have to make a trip down and admire the display of the owner's personal super heroes collection. While the food is decent, you will be captivated by the beauty of the place and its a great place for group gathering.

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak @ Boon Lay Place Food Village

By now most of you may have known that I have been relocated to the west of Singapore. This means I get to explore more food options that are available in the west side of Singapore. One of these places I wanted check out for the longest time is Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak. Its popularity has been heard even all the way from the east but I have never made that long journey. Cut the story short, I was at the stall itself to check out how power this so called legendary nasi lemak is a couple of weeks ago.

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak 3.5/5

The first thing I observed when I reached there around 6pm is the snaking long queue of customers eagerly waiting to place their order. The stall actually sells quite a lot of stuff besides their nasi lemak. I was actually at a lost in how I should place my order. Lucky they have a a couple of ready set meals for easy ordering.

I think I ordered the Chicken Set Meal B ($3) which comes with a chicken wing, a fried egg, ikan bilis. I added on a piece of Otah ($1) to complete my meal. The chicken was well marinated and deep fried to a nice crisp that is very enjoyable. However it is not as fat and juicy which I would prefer. The rice was fragrant with the nice coconut aroma. The star has to the sweet chilli that complemented the nasi lemak very much.

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak 3.5/5

Overall I felt that Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak is above average one of the better ones around but definitely not the best. Why is it so power? Probably has to do with its chilli and its reasonable pricing. Unless I am in the vicinity, I would not make all the way just to have it.
